The Spy. of the Shenandoah.

Pardon Worsley, ''the Union Spy OF |
the Shenandoah" died at his home at |
Fosterbrook, N. Y, recently aged sixty |
seven years. Beginning life as fancy |
goods merchant in Massachusetts, at the |
opening of the civil war he raised |
a company of the Fourteenth Massachu-
setts Heavy Artillery. He was soon
afterward employed by General B. F.
Butler, in the name of the United States,
to go into the British provinces to look
into the system of blockade running
then in vogue. lie was successful in the
mission, for General G. C. Augur, in his
report of August %, 1865, says that it
was through the instrumentality of Mr..
Worsley that the extensive system of
blockade running from Baltimore and
Washington was broken up.
After returning from this trip Worsley
went out as a spy upon Mosby, under
orders from General Augur, though not
until he had returned TO Boston and mar
ried Helen Isabel Francis, who survives
him. Accompanied by his young wife
Worsley set out, ostensibly upon a ped
ding trip through Virginia. His real
object was soon suspected by Mosby, and
spy was placed upon his track. The
spy was handsome young lady, who was
to be conducted TO Washington by Wors-
ley The Union spy was too smart to be
caught, and instead of using his pass
through the Union lines he conducted
the lady through swamps and by-roads
until she became disgusted with the trip,
! AMI she returned to Mosby convinced Of
the loyalty of Worsley. Mosby was not,
! however, convinced, and at one time
/ placed a pistol to Worsley's head, threat
ening to blow his brains out. The young
lady interceded and Worsley's life was
saved. Afterward Mosby became his
firm friend, fighting a duel with a nephew
of General Lee because Lieutenant Lee
had set a guard upon Worsley and had
condemned him as spy.
On two occasions Worsley furnished
information by which the Federal force:
were enabled to surround the house in
which Mosby was quartered, but the dash
ing Confederate cut his way out and es'
cared. On several occasions he got in
formation of intended raids upon Wash
ington in time to allow the authorities t.
mass their forces and save the capital
At the time of the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln Worsley received command
of a squad of detectives, and when Boot
was killed he retired TO private life. Fo
D the past ten years he has run park re:
taurant in the Bradford oil field.-Ne

CuttInr Glass with Scissors,

The way in which glass may best be
cut with scissors is told in the Pottery
Gazette: Glass may be cut under
water with great ease, to almost any
shape, with a pair of shears or strong
scissors. Two things are necessary for
success. First, the glass must be kept
quite level in the water while the scissors
are applied; and secondly, to avoid risk,
it is better to perform the cutting by
taking off small pieces at the corners and
along the edges, and to reduce the shape
gradually to that required. The softer
glasses cut the best, and the scissors
need not be very sharp.

Monkeys Copying Human Vices.

DIR, Jammes, in a memoir sent to the
Academic des Sciences, states that mon
keys, unlike other animals, unless il is
the human animal readily acquire the
habit Of taking morphia. When monkeys
live with opium smokers, as they do in
Eastern countries, where the habit is
more prevalent than elsewhere, and be-
come accustomed to the medicated at
mospheTe, they acquire a taste for the
pipe. One particular monkey, it is said
Moula wait Tor his master to lay down
ms plpe' and would then take it up aud
smoke what remained. If not allowed
10 do so ior several days it would fall into
state OF depression and inactivity
which would disappear as soon as il was
allowed TO ''hit the pipel' Seemingly
this strengthens the missing link theory.

Sowing Grass Seed.

In sowing grass and clover seeds an
even stand is desirable, and to secure
this, great care is to be taken in the sow.
ing, A very good practice is to make
the last narrowing with great care, evenly
and with the marks all parallel. Then
the sower can follow these marks, first
taking the edge of the field aud return
ing six short PAGES distant from the first
course. Then returning on the second
course, and always sowing with the right
hand to the left. Six feet for each cast
is as much as can be taken with light
seed, as orchard grass, blue grass, red
top. etc., and as much as should be taken
with timothy, and the quantity of seed
taken may be readily gauged to the
width of the cast The cast is made
with each movement of the right foot
When the wind is blowing, even slightly,
the casts should be made low, to avoid
irregular dropping of the seed, and when
the light seeds are sown it is easier to
walk across the harrow marks when the
tracks made are easily seen, and as the
wind may carry the seed to one side, the
sower may go out of the straight track to
accommodate the wind, and on returning
can easily distinguish the foot marks of
the previous track in the soft soil.
The sowing should be done as soon as
the last narrowing is finished, when the
seed sinks in the loose soil, or is covered
by the first shower. A smoothing plank
is good thing to cover seed with Ii
may be eight or ten feet long, and is
fitted with tongue and two stiff braces
The tongue is fitted to the plank on the
level, so that when it is raised the from
end of the plank is elevated little
This prevents the plank from gathering
stones or seeds in front of it, and causes
it to ride over them. 1t leaves a smooth
even surface. AgricultuyiS.

The Alaska Indians.

The Chinooks are indeed wonderful
looking tribe of Indians to those who
know the redmen on the plains. They
al wear good coats and pantaloons and
strong boots. They earn plenty Of
money to buy store clothes, and the
women are gay in red and yellow hand
kerchiefs, as head gear, while their
sacques are made of bright -colored cloth
and ornamented with dozens of pearl
buttons sewed on in patterns. One was
decorated with the outline Of bear,
which was probably the crest of her fam
lily. The woman here is of much i'm
portance in heredity,as as a man belongs to
the family of his mother be it beaver,
fish, or otter, and they are very careful
about their totems. The next chief is al
ways the oldest son of the present mans
oldest sister. - Chicago Times.

President F. o. Beal and DIR. George Ii.
Bailey, veterinary surgeon. of the Cattle
Commission. went to Garland Thursday for
the purpose Of making an examination of
the herd owned by Messrs. 1. c. Libby and
Charles Merrill, of Burnham. There are
sixteen head Of cattle now in the herd, nine
having been sent away, and after aIthorough
examination it was found that nearly every
one was affected with tuberculosis. The
commissioners at once decided to quarantine
the herd; until next September, when the
final disposition of cases will be made. In
the meantime the cattle will be kept by them
selves in separate pasture. The commits
sioners state that they have found more
cases in this herd than in all the rest of the
State, and intend to see to it that the disease
shall not spread from this herd. Up to this
time the new commission, which has been in
Office over month, had found but two cases.
None were found in Newburg or Dixmont
Centre. There are no more examinations to
be made in that part of the State at present.
